Is mdf toxic?

Yes. MDF contains formaldehyde, and so it cannot be burned - it releases very toxic gases. Respiratory protection should be worn while sanding it. There are companies that make non-toxic MDF, but they are rare. Most all MDF you encounter will be toxic if not covered by a sealer/paint/etc.


Medium-density fibreboard meanings for kid?

Medium-density fiberboard, or MDF, is a manufactured wood product composed of wood fibers that are mixed with resin and wax and pressed into flat panels under high temperature and pressure. It is used much like plywood as a building material. Unlike particleboard, with which it is sometimes confused, MDF cuts well and has a smooth surface that is ideal for painting. It is best to cut MDF outdoors, as it creates a lot of dust. It is also smart to wear a respirator when cutting or sanding MDF. When exposed to moisture, unfinished MDF can swell and lose strength.


What are the safety issues with using a sanding block?

Breathing the dust may be hazardous to your long-term health, so please use a dust mask. Accidentally sanding your skin can draw blood, and subsequently become infected if you do not keep the wound covered.
